I’m relatively new to Mumsnet (18 months ish). After reading some absolute pearlers today re eating out and managing to make left over toddler meals last 2 days, I’m intrigued to know what are the stand out posts you remember.

Ive read classics but I’m after one liners that made you properly laugh.

Does anyone remember a really weird thread about someone on a bus, and she didn't want to move her pringles and rice, and something about an air seat?

Yerroblemom1923 · 20/04/2022 17:39

@Wallawallakoala yes! That was the bus woman with the "fly space" on the bus and a man had asked her to move her bag and she'd shouted at him! Hilarious thread still makes me laugh to this day.

Warning though, people are angry over there as it’s resurrected a zombie 😜

@NancyDrooo - I'm loving their comments about it being resurrected around Easter! There are some fierce witty people posting on MN!

"Call nern nern nern" on the Quern thread broke me. I seem to recall the OP wasn't too happy about the thread getting hijacked as a result of the typo, but I hadn't laughed that much in ages Grin

RoyKentsChestHair · 22/04/2022 12:15

ermahgerd the quern one makes me cry with laughter! Don’t know why it’s so funny but it gets me every time.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 22/04/2022 12:20

I cannot stop thinking about the “smelling faintly of botty” one 😂

CounsellorTroi · 22/04/2022 12:37

I really loved the thread title “AIBU to think the estate agent is screwing my mother?”

iklboo · 23/04/2022 15:23

Saw this gem today

Lets be honest here and say that if you can’t trust a doctor then who can you trust?

I came on here to say the Hugo thread but got beaten to it Grin

So many funny ones on here

I remember one where the DH always said “uh-huh” like Elvis every time he heard the word pelvis. When the poster was pregnant and they went to a scan / midwife appt the word pelvis kept being said and she said her DH was bursting from the “pent up uh-huhs”. Really made me laugh!

The Elvis DH is mine! I've name changed since but he still makes that annoying uh huh whenever he hears the word pelvis.

The one where the bus coming back from a primary school trip had broken down and the teachers had bought the kids McDonalds for tea whilst they waited for a replacement bus - apparently some of the parents had complained on the basis that “we don’t feed our kids fast food”.

Someone quipped “how unreasonable for the bus not to breakdown next to a falafel and hummus stand”.

The off-grid ex-DH feeding the kids badger stew at the Natural History museum was fun, as was the fatballs thread.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 23/04/2022 22:10

@AlexCabot great to find you 😂

Squiff70 · 24/04/2022 22:40

I've just read this reply to a thread where the OP was asking if a specific situation involving a worryingly creepy and controlling guy was red flag territory.

I laughed at the reply far more than is appropriate for the serious nature of the OP but I genuinely wasn't expecting to find humour on that thread.

@Yerroblemom1923 @NancyDrooo oops... It's been a couple of days since I checked my notifications and I feel bad causing the zombie to resurrect 🙈 very funny Easter comments!

Pent-up uh-huhs is a new one to me!
I’ve been happily sniggering for ages 🤣

BKingso · 17/04/2023 13:37

My best ever was the poster who said she'd been on mumsnet for years and only just realised DH = "dear/ darling husband rather than "dick head"

Spanielsarepainless · 17/04/2023 13:42

There's user name that made me laugh; it's either Whatfuckeryisthis or Whatwankeryisthis.

AffIt · 17/04/2023 13:50

I really enjoyed Suzi Quattro's fat nan, particularly the occasional po-faced posters who would chip in every now and again to complain pompously about fat-shaming and body image (there's always one).

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 17/04/2023 14:04

I’ve properly laughed at Hugo. Thanks Op.

ThreeRingCircus · 17/04/2023 14:56

The one where a poster had admitted to shagging Justin Fletcher aka Mr Tumble but hadn't returned to the thread and someone said "she's probably still trying to wash off the face paint. Like Lady Macbeth, Out Damned Spot."

It made me cry laughing.

There was a thread where someone mentioned VIPoo, poo smell covering spray - and someone replied, all starry eyed, VIPoo! What a time to be alive!

it still makes me laugh

Screaming at the Sistine Chapel had me actually sobbing with laughter. I don't know why it was so funny but it was.

Snapped and farted was another that had me dead 😆 🤣
